Sancerre

Sancerre is
one of the most famous white wines in France. Sancerre
is also a very nice village with a typical castle
in the Loire valley.

Sancerre white
wine is more delicate than close-by Pouilly
Fumé. Sancerre matures a little
bit faster than its neighbor.

Although
wine tasters need to differentiate the Sancerre wines
coming from marl terroir and the ones coming from
limestone vineyards. The first are fruity and well
balanced, the second are full flavored but less
stable.

Sancerre is
produced on 15 villages. The wines coming from
Bué and Chavignol are the best.
